Migrant4Migrant (by migrants for migrants)

An interactive multimedia webpage featuring community profiles developed with local culturally and linguistically diverse communities as online mini-documentaries to share news and views about life in the Northern Territory with friends, families and those interstate and overseas.

Migrant4Migrant is envisaged as an interactive multimedia webpage on the MCNT website with audio and visual information, including local "community profiles" from the MCNT members. The primary feature of the project is the production of "Community Profiles" as 20-25 minute mini-documentaries, showcasing and providing a video description of local ethnic communities.

Results Achieved

There were 10 participants for the “Community Profiles” as follows:Nepalese Association of the Northern TerritoryIndian Cultural Society of the NT IncAustralian-Japanese Association of the NT IncBhutanese Community of the NTMultilingual Broadcasting Council of the Northern Territory (MBCNT) Australia-Burma Friendship Association of the NTDarwin Tongan Community Group IncAustralian Karen Organisation – NT Chapter Darwin Persian AssociationNT Refugee Association – Darwin

The project had two main identifiable benefits: it has provided the MCNT with a broader knowledge of their multicultural constituency; and it has provided participating ethnic community groups with a quality online presence.
